It's the second Malayalam project of actress Nitya Naresh, who started off her career in Telugu and debuted in Malayalam with Gauthami Tadimala starrer 'E'. Nitya plays a character named Micheal aka Mikki in the second film and she says the girl is best friends with Nidhi's character Liz, and is very protective about her.

Nitya says, "Nidhi and I play contrasting characters on 'Ennalum Sarath' and we are college students. She was orphaned in childhood and is a softhearted girl, as opposed to Mikki, a bold person. There are many shades to her, and one striking aspect of her character is how she stands up for her friends." Nitya adds that it's her grandmother whom she has to thank for getting her a role in a Balachandra Menon movie. "My mom is a Malayali and though I have been outside Kerala working in Telugu industry, my grandmother always said she wanted to see me in Malayalam movies. My first film 'E' wasn't released in many theatres and she wanted me to have more of good opportunities. When she saw the casting call for this movie, she took the initiative to apply." However, through common friends, a few of her photos and videos had reached Balachandra Menon's wife Varada, and she is the one who suggested Nitya to him, at a time when he was done with a few rounds of auditions.

Nitya finally gave her look test in Kochi, and says she was enamoured with the easy-to-talk to director. "Even after the shoot started, he has been the most active on the set and we could always find him amidst the youngsters. I could also understand the importance he attaches to my character from the way he talks about her, and that was a great motivational factor. Among all the directors I have worked with, he is the one who exploited my talent to the fullest," she says.

'Ennalum Sarath' is expected to be in theatres soon and the film is touted to be a suspense thriller.
